The most interesting part is the bit at the end, where they say:
"We now need to decide what to do with it ! - it's currently on
display in our Burton on Trent Store."Anybody have any ideas? ;-)

First, have some working valves installed and get it playing!
Then find musicians who have the lung power and chops to play it and take it
on tour!
If it's anything like the Harvard BBBb tuba, it will take a
tubist/tri-athlete or a swimmer/sousaphonist to supply the breath support!
Can you say "hyper-ventilation"?! Sure!!!On a like note (plplplplplplpl) anyone ever seen a "CONN-GIANT" tuba
mouthpiece?
There was one that sold on eBay recently that I wanted to bid on, but I got
tied up and missed it! Just wondering how GIANT it really is!---------------------------------------------------------

valves!
